WIM Mounika Akshaya defeated WFM Wadifa Ahmed (BAN) to move to 3/3

Open: Abilmansur - Liyanage: 0-1

FM Abilmansur Abdilkhair (KAZ, 2241) got his king hunted by the Sri Lanka no.1, FM Ranindu Dilshan Liyanage (SRI, 2407).

Position after 19...Kb7

Black is threatening Qd1# White went for the logical 20.Bh3?? which actually spells doom for the white king Nd3+ 21.Kf1 Qd1+ 22.Kg2 Nxf2 23.Bg4 Nxg4 24.Rxg4 f5 25.Nb3 Qg1+ 26.Kh3 fxg4+ and Black checkmated in another six moves. 20.Ke2 is recommended by the computer to keep the game going. No human is going to play like that.

FM Abdilkhair Abilmansur (KAZ) - FM Liyanage Ranindu Dilshan (SRI): 0-1

IM Sambit Panda - IM Aleksey Grebnev: 0.5-0.5

IM Manish Anto Cristiano F - IM S Rohith Krishna: 0.5-0.5

IM Gilbert Elroy Tarigan (INA) - IM Hari Madhavan N B: 1-0

IM Kushagra Mohan - FM Ayush Sharma: 0.5-0.5

IM Harshavardhan G B - FM Mohamed Anees M: 0.5-0.5

Girls: Saina - Keerti: 1-0

WIM Saina Salonika (2140) showed a fine positional understanding to capitalize on her advantage against Keerti Shree Reddy (1580).

Position after 23...Kh8

White should not capture the rook at f8 due to Nb4 creating counterplay for Black. Instead, 24.Rxd6! is a nice intermediate move. Now Nb4 does not work as Qxe5+ forces checkmate. 24...Bxe6 25.Nxe6 Rf5 26.g4 White's attack continues and she won the game in another five moves.

WIM Saina Salonika scored a nice victory over Keerti Shree Reddy to get back in the lead

Rindhiya V - WIM Mounika Akshaya: 0.5-0.5

Shubhi Gupta - WIM Nazerke Nurgali (KAZ): 0.5-0.5

Zeinep - Tejaswini

Position after 58...Ra1

The only thing White should not do here is, allow the black king to infiltrate. 59.Kg3?? allowed just that Kf1-+ 60.Bc8 Ra2 61.Bb7 Kg1 to ensure bishop moves away from the long diagonal. 62.Bc8 Rg2+ 63. Kh3 Kf2 now White cannot even play 64.a7 as Rg1 threatens mate at h1 and also Ra1 drops the a7-pawn.

WIM Zeinep Sultanbek (KAZ) - Tejaswini G: 0-1

Harbhajan Singh, Former Olympian for Team India in Basketball, made the ceremonial first move of Round 4
